A very warm welcome to all in Term

rewarding one in terms of student
progress and outcomes. Kindly
contact me if you haven’t received
your child’s report card. Student
progress has been monitored and
assessed comparatively with term 1
results and Alhamdulillah I am proud
of most students who have shown
significant improvement and progress.
I will be looking into our students
performance in semester one and

Oh ! My Lord Advance me in knowledge
The last ten days of Ramadan are to seek Refuge in Allah from the Hell fire. Allahumma Ajina min an naar
Meaning: O Allah protect us from the fire
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
The preps and year ones have returned to school
re-energized and have settled into term three well. I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs.
Tawheed who is going to be working as a teacher
aide in the prep and year one and two class.
The following is some information about activities
and curriculum planned over the coming weeks.
Focus for this term the students will be exploring the
concept of science, History and Geography. Science focus is on minibeasts. History is on Eid Celebrations
and the reasons why we celebrate Ramadan.
Geography- The places people live in and belong to their familiar features and why they are important to
people. We are also going to be covering the 4R’s,
which is, reduce, recycle, reuse, and rethink. The year ones will be focusing on the topic Space, disasters,
seasons and the weather. The focus for maths is on
chance and data and number.
Insha Allah we are hoping to visit a farm in Gold Coast for our excursion. I will notify you closer to
the time.
For Mathematics the students will learn about the
following,
Time-Introduction to the calendar, duration of events.
Number-Sequencing, Subitising numbers, patterns. Addition and Subtraction.
Problem Solving, sharing in equal groups.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the
parents who helped in the classroom during Semester
One.
Have a happy Eid Mubarak. May Allah Taala guide
you and protect you always.

We are just at the beginning of Term 3! Alham-
dulillah, it has been a great start. Students came
back from school holiday with a great enthusiasm
which shows that they Alhamdulillah are happy
with their classroom. Ramadan as a part of this
term has also made it quite special for us.
Some of our children have been assigned to special-
ist teaching in the area of ESL and Numeracy and
given support in developing their reading, writing
and comprehension skills. These programs for
students in years 4 to 6 are already giving excellent
results.
Students began a SOSE project learning about
‘Sustainability’. They will be making a‘Photo
Book’ which is integrated with ICT, SOSE, Sci-
ence, Literacy, Numeracy and design. This inte-
gration with other subject areas is helping them to
bring academic learning into real life experiences.
This project provides them the opportunity to ex-
pand their mathematical and literature knowledge as
well as biological understanding of sustainable life
style. They learn about designing, planning and
implementing a project based on their favourite
ideas. The cost for this book is about $16 which can
be paid at the end of this term. Once students pay
for it on-line, they then can receive their photo book
and keep it as a life time memory. It is a portfolio
for their assessment as well as a great piece of work
including what they will be doing for the next 10 weeks of
Term 3.
On Friday night, 18th July, we’ll have Iftar night at our
school. Students in years 4-6 will make a great effort
organising the event properly. Every Tuesday afternoon,
students go to the school’s library. I’d like to use this
opportunity to remind parents and students to return their
books on time so other students can also access the
library resources. There has been less homework during
Ramadan, so children will have less pressure. They need
to return their home works on Friday.
Next 9 weeks of Term 3, brings with it new challenges
and new opportunities. I am confident that the students are
well positioned to accept these challenges, thus ensuring a
continuation of excellence in education. I wish to once
again acknowledge and emphasize the participation and
involvement of parents and students, both at school and at
home. This is a vital link between home and school which
cannot be over emphasized.
I wish all my students a successful and fruitful term. In-
shallah, will be full of more adventures and exciting
developments, as the children grow and change so quickly with every passing day!

WHOEVER OF YOU WITNESSES THE MONTH OF
(RAMADAN) MUST FAST (THROUGH) IT.” (Qur’an
sura Baqara v 185)
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
Ramadan Kareem.
The Third Term of 2014 started right in the middle of
the mubarak month of RAMADAN. During this month
we take special care to teach our students all about the
month, its significance and benefits. We teach the etiquettes and requirements of fasting, virtues & benefits
of fasting, who must fast, who are exempted from fast-
ing, what invalidates fast etc. The children also learn about the LAILATUL QADR (The Night of Power).
When they hear that praying in this night is better than
one thousand months of prayer they sit down with their calculators to work out how many years would that be!
They are very keen to spend a good part of this night in
prayer and zikr. Please encourage and support your
children as much as possible. If a child wants to fast please do not discourage him/her by saying, “darling
you are too small.”Instead allow them to fast for a few
hours of the day and let them break it when they feel hungry or thirsty. This way the spirit of Ramadan will
germinate in them at an early age as a fundamental value
of life. Someday when they grow up they will be proud
to say, “I started fasting when I was 5/6/7 years old.”
During the Holy month of Ramadan, Allah swt grants us
special gifts for every ten days. In the first ten days we receive Allah’s Mercy and in the second ten days we
receive Forgiveness and in the last ten days we receive
Safety from hellfire. Children have been taught to recite the three duaás for this. Please encourage them to
practice them at home and earn huge rewards from
Allah swt.
It is extremely heartening to note that many of the students are fasting despite the inconveniences of
feeling hungry and thirsty, especially during the break
times. Amazing but true, there is an aura of
satisfaction and pride among the fasting little boys and girls. They sit down and do zikr, read qur’an dur-
ing Dhuhr/Jumu’a prayer.
AIIC Gold Coast will hold its annual Iftar Evening on
Friday, the 18th of July in sha Allah. We at the school have been overwhelmed by the help and cooperation
received from parents and friends in the past four
years. Food-wise, it becomes a mini international
ramadan gourmet. Please keep the evening free and come with the whole family to enjoy and earn AJR
from Allah subhanahu taa’la.
Jazakallah khairan.
